Thank you for your prayers and loving arms that have embraced us as we whispered goodbye to Pop-pop last week. It is an immeasurable comfort knowing that it was not a final goodbye, but as the pastor said at the funeral, it was “until we meet again” in heaven. Stephen and I are so thankful… Read More Nearer My God To Thee
During Pop-pop’s last few weeks, it was a struggle for him to smile–let alone speak. July 28th, a week before Pop-pop passed away, was my mom’s birthday. Uncle Calvin was sitting in the dining room which they had made into Pop-pop’s bedroom. He said, “Dad, do you remember what you were doing 54 years ago… Read More “Renee”

Milestones are important because they mark the path of our lives, but better yet, they cause us to pause a minute to reflect on the past. Sunday we marked the 2nd anniversary of Crossroad Baptist Church. It was refreshing to look back on what God has done in growing His church in Verrado, AZ. Just… Read More Crossroad Baptist Turns 2!
I’m a bit late on this post, but I didn’t want to skip over Stephen’s birthday. He turned 29 on July 28th–his last year in the 20’s! I stopped by his office with a breakfast sandwich and a little birthday sign to let his co-workers know what a momentous day it was. 🙂 For dinner… Read More Celebrating Stephen
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15 My PopPop went home to be with Jesus this morning. While I and my family miss him terribly, I’m so glad he is finally healthy again. It’s easy to focus on the pain I feel at the loss of a… Read More Precious PopPop
One of Stephen’s favorite sites is thinkgeek.com. For those of you science and computer nerds who have not yet discovered it’s geeky awesomeness, please stop reading and check out the site right now! When I saw this ThinkGeek maternity shirt a few years ago, I knew it was a must-have. Stephen surprised me with it… Read More Week 25
On Saturday we said a not-so-tearful goodbye to our old friend, the 2001 Chevy Impala. Just a little over a year ago I wasn’t at all sure that I wanted to part with our first car–our first car as a married couple, my first car ever, and Stephen’s first nice car. (Of course he had… Read More Losing an Old Friend
I’ll admit it. I’ve never had a Bomb Pop until this 4th of July. Apparently Bomb Pops are a childhood staple bought from the friendly neighborhood ice cream truck. How could I have missed out on something so important? Oh well, at least I have now officially experienced a Bomb Pop. This tower of Blue… Read More Never Have I Ever
Today my sweet in-laws celebrate 30 years of marriage. What an amazing testimony to God’s grace and love! One year, one month, and one day after their wedding, little Stephen Andrew was born–and that was only the beginning of their beautiful family. I feel so blessed to now be part of that family. Although neither… Read More Happy 30th to Mom and Dad Moody
